Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors

Audiolab, I think what you were hearing in your system is the result of natural synergy between the GTX-D(R) and your tubed Vincent cdp/linestage, warm sounding connectors (079's) and vintage JBL L7 speakers. Chris told me he has as many positive reviews about the GTX-D(G)in his email box as the GTX-D(R). If the gold version were so dreadfully veiled as you described, then the outlet would be panned in favour of the rhodium, which it is not. It's just synergy man.

Melbguy1, I didn't say that you wanted to say I was a commercial member. What I said was that Audiogon has no provisions for noting reviewers. I had sought to do so as I did on Audioasylum.

I sorry if you thought I over-reacted but I found your posting very accusatory.

Audiolabyrinth, I don't exactly know what a pro reviewer is but thanks. If it means that you think I am paid, you are wrong. I am a retired college professor and entertain myself with audio. Like all trade, reviewers usually get "accommodation" pricing, which mainly is about wholesale pricing.

Remember that it is often useful for a reviewer to have multiple amps, line stage, phono stages, cables, pcs, etc. when doing reviews.

TBG, thankyou for the reply, must be nice to have alot of equipment to do such review's, I do like stereo time's quite alot, they did a really good review on my amp beating out pass Lab's and Roland back in 2003, would be good if krell would get back to those glory day's of the golden age of audio.

To make thing's clear here, The wife gave me an interesting understanding of Rhodium and Gold, The gold was $49.27 a gram, and Rhodium is $750.00 a gram, I am shocked that furutech does not charge double the amount of money for the R version over the G version, and Rhodium is a member of the platinum family of metal.

Again AL, in the case of the GTX-D it would be wrong to assume the more precious?/expensive plating material is better as the base material (pure copper) dominates the sound of the wpo, and Furutech are only using a thin plating on top. It is more of a slight shade/lean toward transparency resolution (Rhodium) vs warmth/harmonic richness (Gold). It depends how you use it and what the rest of your system is like. That's why Furutech make two versions of their flagship.
